Art - Two-Dimensional

Program Description
The Two-Dimensional Art program offers many high-quality courses in drawing, painting, printmaking and design.
Students are prepared to transfer to a four-year institution, start an art-related career or engage in fields where creative
problem-solving and critical thinking skills are necessary. By enrolling in the 2-D Art major, students will develop their
artistic abilities, strengthen analytical skills, and improve their interpretive capabilities. Solano Art students develop
multicultural visual literacy, exercising the skills necessary to create, analyze, apply and integrate diverse visual
experiences. Students may select from several studio art programs: Art—Two-Dimensional; Art-Three-Dimensional;
Graphic Arts; and Studio Arts for Transfer.

Students earning an Associates Degree in Art—Two-Dimensional will also qualify for the Studio Arts for Transfer Degree
(AA-T). However, the Art—Two-Dimensional degree is more rigorous than the AA-T degree, and provides a deeper
foundation for student artists.

Associate in Arts Degree
The Associate in Arts Degree can be obtained upon completion of 60 units, including the 29 to 30 units in the major,
general education requirements, and electives. All courses in the major must be completed with a minimum grade of C
or a P if the course is taken on a Pass/No Pass basis.

Program Outcomes
Students who complete the Art Two-Dimensional Associate Degree will be able to:
1. Analyze, apply and integrate diverse visual experiences.
2. Develop and articulate with proficiency an understanding of visual and multi-cultural literacy.
3. Work independently and cooperatively to solve creative problems, applying critical thinking skills.
